UPDATE (17th January 2012):
Track lists and covers released

JKT48 released a CM for 'Pocari Sweat' with 'Heavy Rotation'

Formed recently, JKT48 released a CM for 'Pocari Sweat' where they performed 'Heavy Rotation'.

The looks of the girls totally turned up to be so much better than my expectations! The thing that I feel they need to work on is the singing. Don't really feel that it's up to standard. I also felt that the tone is kind of near the lower side.. well, that can be worked on though.

There are also rumors of the release of their first PV is rather soon. Would be anticipating how would it be like.

AKB48’s “Heavy Rotation” creates new record on Oricon’s Karaoke Ranking! - tokyohive

AKB48’s 17th single “Heavy Rotation”, which was released back in August of 2010, has come in at number one on Oricon’s Karaoke Ranking this week, making this their 43rd consecutive week at number one! Up until now, ORANGE RANGE’s “Hana” has held this record for six years with 42 consecutive first place wins.


“Heavy Rotation” was the result of AKB48’s “2nd Senbatsu General Election”, where Oshima Yuko took first place and was in the center position for the first time. This track was second to AKB48’s first million-seller “Beginner” in Oricon’s 2010 Yearly Ranking, selling 713,000 copies.


“Heavy Rotation” officially entered the karaoke ranking on September 13, 2010 at #12. It gradually moved up in rank until November 1, 2010, where it finally took the first place position and has continued to keep it for 10 months. More than a year after its initial release, “Heavy Rotation” is still in the TOP100 single ranking and is a song people love to sing at karaoke.

Heavy Rotation is indeed an all time favourite amongst fans, or even amongst casual listeners. I love the song a lot as it's really catchy and cheerful. ^^ Way to go AKB48! Congratulations! =D
